Black Rhino bull.
Hopefully, the barrel of a telephoto lens is the only barrel this guy will ever have to look down. Full frame, vertical orientation as shot, somewhere in Africa.

Techs:
Nikon D3s
Nikkor 500mm f4 VR-II
f8.0  |  1/800 SS  |  ISO-720

A nice perspective on this big boy Morkel, and we can only hope he survives the poachers.

Very nice textures. Looks like a candidate for BW also.

Stunning photo Morkel and I echo your thoughts as well.
Your point of view here makes for a very compelling photograph.

Beautiful shot of this impressive creature. Dynamic angle (of course!).
